Ready for Quiz #39?

Can you feel it, see it, hear it today?!

Quiz Rules/Format
(Same as last year, feel free to skip to the quiz if you know the rules already)

Your Task: Name the mystery Artist, ideally with as few clues as possible.

Correctly guess the artist on the first clue? 500 points.

After scrolling down to the second clue? 400 points.

Still don’t know after the fifth clue? 0 points, but a crisp high-five for participating.

I’ll use google translate to put the correct answer at the bottom in Arabic (if you read Arabic, that’s fantastic, but no cheating by reading ahead!) and you can translate it back to the language of your choice to confirm your answer.

In the comments, please enter your POINTS earned (not the artist name) and I’ll keep track of the running totals in a spreadsheet.

In addition to eternal bragging rights, the winner at the end of the year may even get something as prestigious as a digital certificate.

Here goes!

For:

500 points…………………American (rock? funk metal? experimental?) band, formed in California (and it is not the Red Hot Chili Peppers). Their 1989 album, The Real Thing, is on the 1001 list…

400 points…………………and that album was the first to feature vocalist Mike Patton. It also featured the hit song, Epic, which would later appear on the ‘Rock Band’ video game.

(a bit of a stretch, but if you were to use an online translator to translate the band name back and forth a few times in another language, you might end up with an imperfect translation result of ‘done with religion’)
